If I embed a .mov video onto my website, will it play STREAMING or not???

[Rawan AbuSalman]

If I embed a video to my site (namely a .mov video, or any other format for that matter) will it play streaming or will it wait untill everything is downloaded then play??

I am using the <embed src="xxxxxx.mov"> code...

If it doesnt play streaming, how can I make it do so? (because it would be inconvenient to wait for the entire video to finish downloading then start playing...)

Not sure, here is one that works:

<object classid="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B" codebase="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab" height="100" width="100">
<param name="src" value="FILE LOCATION HERE" />
<param name="autoplay" value="true" />
<param name="controller" value="false" />
<embed height="100" pluginspage="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/" src="FILE LOCATION HERE " type="video/quicktime" width="100" controller="false" autoplay="true"></embed>
</object>

thanx...ill give it a try...

(what is the CODEBASE and PLUGINSPAGE btw...does it automatically download the plugin needed if the person viewing the page doesnt have it?)

If I only use <embed src>, is it possible that it might download the entire video before playback?

thanx again...

when I pasted the code into frontpage, it gave me the same thing as when I had the embed src....

another thing...what exactly is the "object classid" and the "param" and why should I enter the file location twice? sorry for all those questions..but Im new to these stuff...

thanx again...
